GUATEMALA: 2ND UPDATE: "Agatha's" Agony Continues.

LAHT/ NEW LINK/3 Junio/    Rescue crews are still digging out bodies from mudslides after Tropical Storm Agatha ravaged Central America, killing at least 184 with 90 missing, 87 injured and nearly 200,000 evacuees. Agatha deposited more than 3 feet of rain in Guatemala's mountainous west and in El Salvador, threatening the coffee crops in both nations. The storm may have caused wider material damage in Guatemala than Hurricane Mitch did in 1998, said a Red Cross official.
